Emerald Bay receives drilling permit for Kuhn 1H

The Company recently received the drilling permit to drill the first
horizontal well at Wooden Horse. It is anticipated that drilling
operations will commence the first week of April. The Horizontal well
(Kuhn 1H) will be drilled utilizing the data acquired through the
vertical drilling program on the Kuhn lease. The roads and drilling
pad site have been constructed to the drilling location. Electricity
installations are underway to accommodate the needs of both the
electric submersible and centrifugal pumping systems utilized during
production operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements that may constitute
"forward-looking" statements, usually containing the words "believe,"
"estimate," "project," "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipates",
"projects", "potential" or similar expressions.. Forward-looking
statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not
historical facts.

Information inferred from the interpretation of drilling results may
also be deemed to be forward looking statements, as it constitutes a
prediction of what might be found to be present when and if a well is
actually developed. BOE's may be misleading, particularly if used in
isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl is based on energy
equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip
and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The reader
is cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of such
information, which are considered reasonable by Emerald Bay at the time
of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Actual results achieved will
vary from the information provided and the variations may be material.
There is no representation by Emerald Bay that actual results achieved
will be the same in whole or part as those indicated in the
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this
document include statements regarding the Company's exploration,
drilling and development plans, the Company's expectations regarding
the timing and success of such programs. In particular, forward-looking
information in this news release includes, but is not limited to,
statements with respect to: pipeline acquisitions and leasing; pipeline
permits, pipeline construction, production estimates, drilling
operations, completion operations, funding and development goals.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that such expectations will prove to be correct. We cannot guarantee
future results, level of activity, performance or achievements.
Consequently, there is no representation that the actual results
achieved will be the same, in whole or in part, as those set out in the
forward-looking information. Factors that could cause or contribute to
such differences include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in the
prices of oil and gas, uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities
of oil and gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and
timing of development activities, competition, operating risks,
acquisition risks, liquidity and capital requirements, the effects of
governmental regulation, adverse changes in the market for the
Company's oil and gas production, dependence upon third-party vendors,
and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic report filings with
the applicable securities regulators.
